Anonymous said...

thanks so much for all these tracks man, I can't believe how much stuff I've missed out on all this time.

The Big Sleep said...

Yeah crucial is a good word, this is truly a goldmine of material for those out there who have only heard the official released recordings.

I hope everyone that visits grabs everything they don't already have (or just everything altogether), thanks for the comments guys.

Come back by whenever, there's almost always more stuff on the way, slow but sure.

Anonymous said...

can u please re-up the sets on zshare

The Big Sleep said...

Done.

Anonymous said...

excellent stuff, I can't believe i didn't even know all this material existed. I'm glad i found this site, you're doing the game a great service.

The Big Sleep said...

Glad to hear you're enjoying it, thanks for takin' the time to write a comment.

And that's exactly why I do this. To help spread the music so people know this stuff does exist.

What you can do is spread the word and keep checkin' back, there's always more on the way. Peace brother.

NUFF RESPECT TO U BIG SLEEP KEEPING L ALIVE FOREVA WITH THIS SITE MUCH APPRICIATED

The Big Sleep said...

For sure brother. Someone had to do it and I just happen to have the means and the motivation. Thanks for helping to do your part keepin' his name alive.

The Big Sleep said...

For sure, no problem man.

The Big Sleep said...

Thanks for the kind words man. Peace.

Anonymous said...

yoooooo big sleep you the man just like big l yo. by far the illest freestyle and record rapper ever in my top 2 up there with nas big and pac and pun the greatest. one love for keeping his shit alive forever

The Big Sleep said...

You know it brother. Thanks for the shout outs. Peace.

Praverb said...

thank you very much for this Big Sleep...

Big L is one of my favorite emcees and I am shocked at this collection wow...

The Big Sleep said...

Word up, this is the Big L spot, for sure. Glad you're diggin' on the collection. Thanks for takin' the time out to leave a comment brother. Peace.

Unknown said...

i just found this site, but do I really have to complete a survey first b4 I can DL these tapes?

The Big Sleep said...

What? No. I'm assuming you are referring to the Sharebee links. Those are just ads. Click skip, click a download link of your choice (provided it is still active and working) and download.

BxSouljah said...

Man its a shame that no one could have taken all of the unreleased Big L material and made more posthumous albums like Archives and Harlem's Finest. I mean with all these songs you could make three or four albums.

The Big Sleep said...

I did make three or four albums of unreleased tracks, you just can't buy them anywhere. Harlem's Finest is basically just a bootleg and eventually (hopefully) all the extended versions of those freestyles (and interviews) will become available.

BxSouljah said...

I meant like offically make 3 or 4 commercial albums under Big L's name that people could go buy in stores but I feel you.

The Big Sleep said...

Right, I know what you meant (hence me stating that you can't buy them) but that's exactly why I put this together.

The music exists, it's out there, it largely won't be released, some of it only I had access to previously and now it's all put together and available for free. Hell, multiple people have asked to buy it.

Great post!! GOD BLESS

The Big Sleep said...

I try to bring the exclusives when I have 'em. Thanks.

Anonymous said...

can i download everything, like the whole collection, like in one download?

The Big Sleep said...

Not all at once, but one disc at a time. If you click the word disc (I through IV), it takes you to Sharebee and Sharebee gives you the option of a few possible download options.

Anonymous said...

can you instruct me on how to download from sharebee. it told me i had to take some survey and i couldnt figure it out. i wanna hear this stuff so bad i know every big l line that was commercially released or on an archive and i need to hear these. please help and mad props for posting this stuff. any word on the big l documentary?

The Big Sleep said...

Ignore those ads. Click the Sharebee link. Click next in the top right hand corner until you see words / blue links that say words like RapidShare, MegaUpload, zShare, Badongo, DepositFiles. Click one of those. If the link is up, download the file. If it isn't, choose another. If there are no links remaining, let me know and I'll reup any dead links.

There are definitely some exclusives you haven't heard yet in here, so yes, you need it to have a more complete L collection / discography.

Sure man, let me know if you still can't get the links to work.

Yes, I'm in contact with both L's brother Don and also Jewlz, the director of Street Struck. A follow up trailer should be online shortly, in the next few weeks at most. The DVD is planned for the end of May, to correspond with L's birthday.

Thanks for the questions and interest, glad you enjoy the site, keep checkin' back. I wanna make sure you get everything workin' for ya eventually so hit me up and lemme know if you have any problems. Peace brother.

dj flo said...

AYO. I want to sincerely give you my greatest THANK YOU for this blog! Man, this is a huge post into the internet archives for hip-hops most underrated MC/Artist of all time. THANK U, I have been an L fan forever, I live up in Harlem, and I never even knew these recordings existed.

The Big Sleep said...

That's good to hear man, thanks for props, glad you discovered these demos, unreleased songs, exclusives and freestyles. I was definitely diggin' in the archives for this one. Peace from one Harlem L fan to another.

HUANSOAHN said...

Hey first of all thanks thanks thanks.this blog is just pure awesomness!BIG L was and is still one of the very best.

BUT is it right that the songs on the LODP&D promo TAPE are the same as on the promo LP?because those links have exactly the same size and tracklist.?Just wondering...

cheers from Germany H.

The Big Sleep said...

Sure man, glad you dig it.

Yes, Big L's album was nearly complete in '94, Street Struck and MVP were done in '95 but other than that he was ready to drop Lifestylez as we know it today a year earlier than it actually got released and that was due to issues with his label at the time, Columbia.

Anonymous said...

This is aaa on BigLOnline (the guy who asks a lot of question... don't know if you know me on it). I just wanted to thank you for putting this together.

The Big Sleep said...

Of course I recognize your name. Thank you man, I always appreciate it when forum members take the time out to write something on here.

Anonymous said...

After reading the comments above, I d/l all 4 discs expecting to hear a lot of new L verses. This wasn't the case but I definitely enjoyed all 4 discs nonetheless. I liked hearing the extended versions of L's freestyles with stretch and bobbito. Thanks a lot for this. Hopefully in the near future we can get our hands on some L shit that none of us have heard before...

The Big Sleep said...

There are a few exclusives in here but yes, the majority of it are demos, alternate versions, freestyles and unreleased tracks.

And if you want to know more about what hasn't been heard, check out BigLOnline.com, peace.

Anonymous said...

Big Sleep thnx man, ya do right thing. I'm big addict of L shit and all dat. Big L' s da best MC I've ever heard. Dopest rhymes, insane flow, classic beats, he was the illiest rapper, I think, and he still is.
As one anonymous said that his dream was to come to NYC to visit 139 and Lenox, I appreciate that idea and I'll do that too, bro.
Keep workin, man.
Respect from Moscow, Russia.

The Big Sleep said...

No doubt brother, thanks for stoppin' by, peace.

Ya star thanks. Couldn't get the links to work at all (or the ones on the Big L Online page) but thanks for it anyways. Hopefully there'll be new links, or a Pirate Bay upload (that would be tight).

Thanks

I am Alecia Maldonado used every single spell worker on the internet, spent untold amounts of money and discovered they are all fakes...i was the fool though; doing the same thing over and over again and expecting different results. In the end, I decided that I wanted a tarot reading to know what my future held for me; I contacted a woman who lives locally to me and she told me about a man named (Dr Mandaker); he just got he just got his website (holyaraminta.com), has another job for income, has no set prices, makes no false promises and refuses to help anyone that cannot be helped and even helps
for free sometimes, he will give you proof before taking money. He is a wonderful man and he was the only person who actually gave me real results. I really hope he doesn't mind me advertising his contact on the internet but I'm sure any help/ extra work will benefit him.contact him as witchhealing@outlook.com He travel sometimes.i cant give out his number cos he told me he don’t want to be disturbed by many people across the world..he said his email is okay and he’ will replied to any emails asap,love marriage,finance, job promotion ,lottery Voodoo,poker voodoo,golf Voodoo,Law & Court case Spells,money voodoo,weigh loss voodoo,any sicknesses voodoo,Trouble in marriage,HIV AIDS,Barrenness(need a child),goodLuck voodoo,it's all he does Hope this helps everyone that is in a desperate situation as I once was; I know how it feels to hold onto something and never have a chance to move on because of the false promises and then to feel trapped in wanting something
more!
